SOME PROVERBS ON HOME.
English Speaking People the Most Fond OF
tho Place of Their Abode.


the Place of Their Abode
1t will not surprise any thoughtful per
son to learn that of all the principal Ian
| guages in the world the English has the
most proverbs concerning the home.
Among no other nation is that abode so
| highly priced.
Many Of these proverbs describe the
! happiness of the home as unCOnnected
! with outward circumstances, as
"HOme is home, be it ever so homely."
"Home, my own home, tiny though
! thou De, to me thou seemest an abbey"
| "My hOme-my mothers breast"
/ ITO every bird it's nest is fair"
EDry bread at home is better than roast
| meat abroad"
The great Lord Chatham used the pro-
verb: can Englishman's house is his cas-
| tie" in one Of MS most splendid speeches
in Parliament to illustrate the majesty of
| the law which protects the hum5lest cot
| tage equally with the proudest mansion on
English soil.
The French have a proverb that bears
on the same subject which says
"The charcoal burner is master in his
own house"
Mr. Kelly in his "Proverbs of all
Nations" gives as the origin OF this hunt
ing adventure of Francois 1.
Having outridden al his followers, the
King took shelter at nightfall in the cabin
Of g charcoal burner, whose wife he found
siJting on the floor before the fire. She
told him, on asking for hospitality, that
he must wait for her husbands return,
which he did, at the same time taking
possession of the only chair III the cabin.
Not long after7ard the man returned
home and made the King give up the
chair, saying he was in the habit of sit
ting in it, and it Was only right that man
should be master in his own house.
The Italians say
every dog Is lion at home"
The proverb, 50 lynx at home and
mole Abroad" gives Us the hint that it is
wise TO be attentive to what is going on in
our homes, but blind to what passes in
those of others,
The necessity of making home attraC-
tive il order to induce those to stay in it
who have an Inclination to 90 astray is
noticed in the Scotch proverb:
ga hen that lays thereOut should have
q white nest egg"
"Ance ava, aye awa," implies that
when members of the family so away
from home there is always a feeling
among those left that the bond which
binds the former is weakened.
There ere proverbs showing that the /
home life of wives should be unseltish, |
for instance
"When the good mans from home, the
good wife's table is soon spread"
''The good is the last to know what is
amiss at nome'
1t seems sad that a place so delightful
as the home should be invadta by sor-
row, bat the proverb, "WherSEer man
dwells5te shall be sure to haYFs thorn
bush 81 hissdoor," assures us the fact

Special to the Gazette.
! WASHINGTON, May 25.-The State De-
partment has been in state of siege for
several days past. To-day there are q
number of the clerks and other employees
who armed 10 the teeth in expectation of
a hostile demonstration by a claimant
who demands the intervention of this
government in q little affair that he has
! in Portugal. Some time ago man who
said that his name was Thuler, visited the
department and stated that he had a valid
claim against the Consul General at LIS
bon, Mr.. Lewis. Thuler said that his
profession was that of an actor in circus
and that his chief business con-
sisted in placing g paving stone on
his head while another factor" struck it
with sledge hammer. He asserted that
he had been connected with circus in
Lisoon, end that being unable to collect
! his salary from the manager of the show
| he had appealed TO Mr.. Lewis. He
/ claimed that Lewis had collected the
money due to him, but that be had not
/ turned it over. He visited the depart
ment number of times and insisted that
| Governor Porter should compel Lewis to
| pay over the amount claimed to be with
held. II was learned by the department
/ that Thuier had evidently been affected
/ by the paving stone operations and that
while ia Lisbon he had on one occasion
entered the ring and had begun al indis-
criminate fusilade with pair OF revoIv-
/ ers. Ia consequence re was looked upon
as 2 crank, and no attention was paid TO
/ his demands. Thuler, after many
/ delays, grew tired Of the system in
the STATE Department, aud at last
he determined. that MS claims should re-
CeiVe attention. Yesterday he called On
/ Governor Porter again and insisted upon
al immediate compliance with his re-
quest To enforce his demands, it is
soid, he pulled out pistol and threatened
that unless q letter was Immediately
written to Mr.. Lewis he would shoot
everyone in the office. His method was
effective, aud the letter was Immediately
written. lie declined 20 leaye the build
ing, however, until the epistle had been
sent TO the postoffice. To-day orders
